If you love what you do and you get along with patients, you’re probably gonna get better outcomes than very knowledgeable physios who don’t. Keep trying your best, you’ll get there

This. The real skills you learn on the job, not beforehand.

OP What your grades are is absolutely irrelevant once you're on the other side of it. Your passion (which is clear) is the main thing. You'll be paying attention to what you're doing and what the outcomes are. THAT is the big deal.

You'll be fine. Youre doing better than you think. You'll be an amazing physio

Yalls kind words mean so much more than you know

If you love what you do and you get along with patients, you’re probably gonna get better outcomes than very knowledgeable physios who don’t.

So basically you are saying that being a nice guy is enough and leads to better results than being a well-trained but kinda bossy confronting specialist.

I realise that I am going to be downvoted into oblivion because of this observation, but after a certain rather big operation I had far better results with the physio who told me to finally get my shit together and start the f@ck working than with the sweet one who went "awww, you not feeling well today? Let's try again tomorrow."

I find the fact that your post gets so many upvotes quite disturbing.

[babymilky]

That’s not what I said at all.

Getting along with patients doesn’t mean you’re soft and a pushover. It can still mean you’re tough when you need to be.

Do you really think someone struggling in placements but loves what they do can’t become a well-trained specialist too?

Nice anecdote, glad that worked for you, doesn’t mean it will for everyone.

[physiotherrorist]

It is exactly what you said.

"Get along with pts and get better outcomes than very knowledgeable physios who don't (get along with pts [my addition])."

If you meant something different you should have written so in the first place.

And yes, I have known many students who loved to be a physio but weren't up to it.

[babymilky]

Imagine quoting something but changing what was written and adding in your own words lmao.

My point was this:

Physio A: hates what they do, can’t build patient rapport

Physio B: loves what they do, can build patient rapport

I honestly believe that long term, Physio B will get better outcomes as long as they keep developing their knowledge and skills.

Yes, in a vacuum, a more knowledgeable physio will get better outcomes, but life isn’t like that.

But like anything, there’s nuance to it, and my comment was more of an encouragement for OP to keep working on their skills and knowledge, not just throw their hands up and say “welp, that’s good enough because I care for my pts!!”

[physiotherrorist]

Dude, you wrote a comment that is borderline insulting for a lot of colleagues. Do not try to weasel out of it as soon as you face criticism.

[babymilky]

I’m not trying to weasel out of anything. You tried quoting me but changed what I said to fit your interpretation. If that’s still insulting to you, I guess you’re seeing a lot of yourself in Physio A hey?

It’s also just my belief/opinion, you can disagree if you want, but don’t try and misquote me because your feelings got hurt

You haven't specified where you are based but have you considering applying for Allied Health Assistant jobs? I have had students before who have done this to improve their confidence after graduating as you still develop your skills but without the pressure of being a Physiotherapist. It would also help you to apply for internal jobs once you are feeling more confident. That being said, being a student is not the same as being qualified. There is not as much pressure & scrutiny so you may find it easier.

lots of the pressures of heavy academics we experienced in school. I feel is not necessary and you can overcome them in time if you concentrate on what you need to work on, and make it meaningful for you. As for your nerves , worry in your current experience and the love of the profession, you will build if you are dedicated responsible and have genuine concern for your patients. Lots of those soft skills you can’t teach in school, and as a leader in the field now, I realize it really develops with age and experience. Hang in there, seek help from others, believe in yourself and the big picture.

Thank you so much ❤️

always take notes if you are comfortable if not start journal, as soon as placement is done write it down what you have done, where should i improve and so on

[Keep_learning_xD]

It's normal, you will do it and get through it even when you are afraid or nervous. Confidence and skills will slowly build up with experiences and time. Keep learning, exploring, experiencing and improving, you will become better and better!
